The Signature Floors Engineered Timber Flooring Range

What is Engineered Timber Flooring?

It looks like real timber but is faster to install, less susceptible to moisture damage, and offers a variety of other advantages. Sounds like an ideal flooring option? Meet engineered timber flooring (visit https://www.onlineflooringstore.com.a... to view our full range).

We are proud to introduce our Signature engineered timber flooring range. This innovative, cost-effective range mimics real timber while also offering several advantages over actual timber floors.

Engineered timber floors, often referred to as a floating floor, consist of pure timber veneers on top -- around 3mm to 6mm thick -- with a multilayered plywood core. They offer the same look and feel of timber at a fraction of the cost.

What's the Benefits?

This type of flooring makes an ideal choice for anyone desiring the luxury of solid timber floors without the installation time or cost. Another benefit of engineered timber over solid timber is its ability to adapt well to all types of conditions.

While solid timber is at risk of warping, moving, expanding, or shrinking due to changes in weather or seasons -- a particularly common risk in Australia -- engineered timber maintains its quality. It is also less prone to splitting or gapping than solid timber floors, making it strong and exceptionally durable. Better yet, it is extremely low-maintenance and easy to care for.

Engineered floating floorboards can be installed quicker and easier than solid hardwood flooring since they come pre-finished. This eliminates the need for sealing, sanding, or staining during or after installation.

How Does it Compare to Laminate Flooring?

Now that you know some of the differences between engineered timber versus real timber, you may wonder how it compares to laminate flooring. Although they both feature multi-layered construction, laminate is completely synthetic and lacks the visual appeal of real timber.

Floating timber floors also boast superior durability when compared to laminate. While it may be more costly upfront to invest in engineered timber, it offers double -- sometimes triple -- the lifespan of traditional laminate flooring.

Which Rooms is It Suitable for?

Floating timber floors make an ideal addition in a variety of rooms throughout the home, especially in any crammed spaces you wish to feel larger.

Due to its durability and water-resistant properties, engineered timber floors are especially great options in kitchens or dining spaces.

Why Choose Our Signature Floors Range?

Benefits of our Signature Engineered Timber Flooring include:

1.) Increased Installation Options - Stability even in volatile environments such as installation above radiant heating systems or in basements increases the number of areas it can be installed.

2.) Ease of Installation - Engineered flooring can be installed directly by the owner, making it an ideal option for homeowners looking to save on the cost of installation.

3.) More Affordable - It is generally less expensive than solid hardwood.

4.) No Sub Floors Required - No plywood subfloor is needed for engineered hardwood, making it more versatile in terms of where it can be installed.

5.) Versatile and Aesthetically Appealing - Thanks to a wide range of colours, patterns, and styles, it can create a warm, inviting atmosphere and a sophisticated, authentic appearance.

6.) Impressive Stability - Layered construction (typically layers run in a pattern that is perpendicular to each other) lends a more durable, stable feel to engineered floors.

7.) Option for Refinishing - Engineered wood can typically be refinished at least once (and sometimes several times) during the life of the floor.

8.) Better for the Planet - Timber products are known for being a particularly sustainable option in the flooring market. For example, the thinner top layer requires less wood to produce than solid timber. This means more boards can be produced from one tree.

9.) Better for Your Health - Allergies in your family? This type of flooring should be a top consideration in this case. It creates a cleaner, healthier indoor environment since it resists harbouring mould, dust, pet dander, or other potential allergens.
